Charlie followed me throughout my shopping journey tonight. He was a terrible influence on me with regards to being a thrifty shopper."This looks very tasty," Charlie would say and put it in my cart.
I smiled a good-natured but very exasperated smile.
I was also very pleased to get lots of sweet treats. Charlie has a terrible and insatiable sweet tooth as well and helped me in this endeavor. From apple pies to molten chocolate lava cakes, we ran the gamut of sweet things. Charlie even got me two boxes of Hostess chocolate cupcakes which I have a certain weakness for.
I was also thrilled to be able to make spaghetti twice this week and got extra ground chuck to make it extra meaty. I can't believe I was so reckless as to spend $30 on ground chuck, though. Meat is astronomically priced at Kroger.
Check out time?
"Your daddy told me to remind you to get your journal writing sodas or whatever that means," Charlie told me and I pointed to them in my cart with an appreciative grin. There were four Fanta strawberry sodas. It is so wonderful to enjoy my cold sodas as they accompany the authorship of a blog post. It is just a ritual of mine.
The total came to $134 dollars. I gasped, feeling as if I broke one of the ten shopping commandments. It is shopper's purgatory for me I fear.
Charlie followed me home and helped me unload all my groceries which was awesome and it helped me keep Maggie from escaping through the front door. We had a little relay action going on.
